Moulin Rouge! (2001) - Baz Luhrmann

What a LOVEly film. All about love. Me and my single friend watched a film about love, and yet, neither of us got depressed, because it is such a good film. I don't know if this counts as a real musical, due to the songs being prewritten for different singers and that, but they all fit, and most were catchy tunes that everyone knows the words to. Would. Watch. Again.

The Great Gatsby (2013) - Baz Luhrman

I like the story, by F. Scott Fitzgerald more than the film. Don't get me wrong, it was a worthwhile movie, but I don't think I'd watch it a second time, and still be entertained. However, that being said, Leonardo Di Caprio shines through yet again. I feel that Luhrman just brings out a brilliant actor within him, something that Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained (2012) failed to do.
